Report Generation Toolkit using Chinese Characters

I am trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office under LabVIEW 8.0. I would like to use Chinese characters for the headings of the columns using a 2D array of the headings and the Excel Easy Table. When I generate the report, the text of the headings appears to be jumbled and not encoding correctly.
For example:
仪器编号 becomes êNhV÷S
采前初重（g） becomes Ç‘MRRÍ‘ÿg
Any insights here? Thanks

Hi,
what you describe reminded me of a bug fix in the Report Generation Toolkit 2012 :
339092
Using the "Append Table to Report" VI to add strings of Cyrillic font to a table in an MS Word report results in gibberish being added to the report.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/09D6DE5170B3C0BD86257A2B004CFD20
I know that Cyrillic and Chinese characters are different but they are often confronted to the same problems...

When calling report in forms, only html format can show chinese characters

To all experts,
When I run report by calling run_report_object() in forms, only html format can show chinese characters. If I choose pdf format, garbage characters were shown instead of chinese characters. My settings on server are as follows:
NLS_LANG=TRADITIONAL CHINESE_HONG KONG.UTF8
FORMS60_REPFORMAT=PDF
Do you know why? I hope to print report in PDF format as PDF turned out to be more regular in format. Is there any additional settings required?
May experts here broaden my mind?
Richard

Assuming that you are using version 6i, try using Oracle9i Reports it has support for multi-byte in PDF.
By the way, Reports questions will get better response if you send them on the reports forum.

You have two different ways of generating Japanese PDF files from Reoprts. One is font aliasing and the other is font subsetting.
<font aliasing>
You will need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF ]
.....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
"MS UI Gothic".....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
You may need to download and install Japanese Font Pack from Adobe's web site (if your Acrobat is non-Japanese version).
<font subsetting>
You will need to add C:\WINNT\Fonts (or wherever your TTF/TTC fonts are installed) to your REPORTS_PATH.
You will also need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF:Subset ]
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"MS UI Gothic" = "msgothic.ttc"

How to generate reports 10g in chinese characters pdf/html (10g)

Hi,
we have installed Oracle AS 10g (9.0.4.1) on an windows 2000 server.
The nls_lang=American_america.UTF8
the database server 10g with characterset utf8
The chinese font used is the simsun (simsun.ttf) semplified chinese.
We have no problem with the forms and the database (we have prompt in chinese and we store data in chinese and we view the forms with the jnitiator.
Our problem are the reports: we can't view chinese characters in pdf reports or html
We have readen a lot of topics (very confused..) and we have tryed a lot of solutions but without success.
In particolar, the last:
in the uifont.ali under the pdf subset section we have mapped the simsun font with the file arialuni.ttf
simsun="arialuni.ttf"
We have installed the arial unicode ms (arialuni.ttf) on the server and also on the client.
we have put the file arialuni.ttf also in a directory of the report path.
But it doesn't work.
What can we do ?
Regards

I agree with Phillip. Looks li ke you've got everything else setup properly, but you should use a Unicode font in your report instead of simsun. If you really want to use Simsun, then change your report server NLS parameter to use something like NLS_LANG=SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK or even NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.ZHS16GBK, and remove the reference to arialuni.ttf. By making your report server use UTF8, it requires that you use a Unicode font. If you change your NLS to a Chinese character set, sqlnet will do the conversion for you automatically and transparently, and you can use simsun
The subset feature is what allows you to see the PDF properly on machines that don't already have the font installed. If your target users are internal and you can control them, or external and all likely to have the font already, you don't need the subsetting at all.

Crystal Reports XI R2 Chinese characters display issue(with VB6)

I have a vb6 program that interfaces to crystal reports xi using crystal active x report viewer. When i print a report with Chinese characters in it, they print end up printing as boxes, but when i open the report through crystal itself they print fine.
Is there some setting that needs to be set to allow the characters to display properly?

Not a bug in CR, it's a limitation of Microsoft Framework. It has problems rendering fonts properly though GDIPlus.
Crystal Reports is a Win32 app, VB 6 and newer OS has issues. The viewer for CR is built into crw32.exe, the viewer you are using is an ActiveX viewer ( crviewer.dll ) and it can have limitations also. Mostly, CR XI R2 is unicode, using non-unicode fonts or non-UTF-8 type fonts are not supported. So some may work and others not.
Make sure the fonts you are using are True Type and that they are shared for all users. Depends on the OS you are using also.
Also, install the only patches available for R2, it may be resolved if you are not on the last updates:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe ( requires and uninstall first so make sure you have your keycode, we can't give you a new one.

In the jasper report viewer the chinese character could be viewed perfectly.but when we save as pdf document the chinese characters are blank
in the generated pdf document.
I did all the procedures specified in forums. but no result.
I could see that when i open the pdf,only helvatica font was used even i put the chinese characters.How could i embed the chinese character in pdf
what is the clear procedure to display the chinese characters in pdf documents?
Thanks and regards,

Chinese Characters in Netlogon.log -- re-asking

We have 822 occurrences of the following:
[CRITICAL] I_NetlogonLdapLookup: unrecognized character <Chinese characters>
in the last 2 days. The previous thread on this subject was marked "Answered" without being answered, so I'm re-asking:
1. Does anyone have any substantive information about what's sourcing this?
2. How can I associate a source IP with a single entry in the netlogon.log?
Here's what we know so far:
We have a Chinese linguist who has broken the character string down to 2 sections, the first being the same for all occurrences and the second being random-looking. He says the first section refers to "boats" or "water" and is looking
farther, but he says the string definitely looks like virus-like activity.
Second, I_NetlogonLdapLookup is a function inside netlogon.dll, so intuition says something is trying to do an LDAP lookup on the Chinese character string. We are looking into exactly how that function is supposed to be called (we're network guys, not
coders, so this may take longer than it should). Can someone help shorten this search?
C: There's no consistent contextual activity surrounding the actual log entries, so we're expecting to find out that there's more than one source, so it's extra important we figure out how to associate a source IP with these [CRITICAL] log entries,
especially since we may be looking for a root kit or something else that's able to hide from our multiple AV programs.
Assistance is appreciated, good analytical step-oriented result-generating assistance is GREATLY appreciated!

Oh yeah -- this is being logged on a DC in a 2008R2 domain with a small but growing number of 2012 member servers and almost no remaining servers lower than 2008R2. I can provide more details if anyone needs them

Hi all --
OK. It looks like we're all on the same page.
Here's a summary of the issue:
netlogon.log [CRITICAL] entry is reporting a failed attempt to execute an LDAP lookup on a Chinese character string (I_NetlogonLDAPLookup is a function inside netlogon.dll). There are no audit failures or other Event Log warnings or errors associated
with the log entries, so it's likely that the lookup is being performed after logging on to the domain with valid credentials. We don't think the character string is corrupted data because the first half of the string is identical in every
log entry and the total number of characters used across all occurrences is very small). Also, the variations in the 2nd half of the string are methodical and repetitive.
We hoped that translating the Chinese string would yield a clue pointing to the source of the attempted LDAP lookup. That didn't happen so we now must figure out how work back from the netlogon.log entry to the source platform.
The current situation:
The [CRITICAL] entries continue to be logged.
The distribution across 3 days of logs is making it look like we need to assume not one, but multiple sources.
I appreciate the standard advice re: 3rd-party AV software, DC build practices, security scans, power erasers and the like, but we are a QA/Test lab for a very complex product; scientific method and the need for operational stability preempts
us taking any corrective actions on any of our DCs (8 machines, 4 domains, 2 forests), Exchange servers (4 versions, 2 clusters per version) , Lync (2 versions), OCS, PKI, WSUS, DNS, DHCP, DHCPv6, SQL, or member servers until we actually prove that the machine in
question is a source of the bogus lookup attempts.
Paul -- I REALLY appreciate your straightforward no-bs reply. I can work with "I don't know" . Try-this-article-I-just -Googled Whack-A-Mole easter egg hunts, however.... <grin>
I'm going to close with one last (hopefully ) simple question: Where do I start the search for the UberSME who knows how to read the netlogon.log - specifically how to connect an event with its legitimate predecessor. Somebody
wrote the service, somebody knows how to interpret its logging output. Where do I start looking for them?
Best Regards,
Robert

Chinese Characters in Discoverer Plus

Hi,
I am having the problem of outputting chinese characters in Discoverer Plus on the client browser. The chinese characters are represented by "box" when they are outputted to Discoverer plus. The chinese characters can be shown with the Report Builder. My database is running on UTF8 characterset.
I have done some configurations to output the chinese characters to the Report Builder. Besides, the chinese characters can be shown in the PDF reports generated from the Report Server. The configurations that I have done is to modify some of the files in ORACLE_HOME/bin/ and ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin/.
How do I ouput the chinese characters in Discoverer Plus?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Joey

i have installed sqlplus and oracle db in the same PC under chinese win xp.
i found that if you spool the output to a text file, and type in dos-prompt, it still cannot display the chinese character properly. but if you open the text file by notepad, bingo, you can the chinese character.
i think that it is because dos-prompt application is non-unicode application. so it could not display unicode character properly.
as a result, if you want to display unicode character in non-unicode application (run sqlplus under dos-prompt), you have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable which match the character set of non-unicode application which your operating system assigned. in my case, it should be Big5. then oracle would do the conversion for you automatically, i.e. from unicode in DB to Big5 in client.
I either set the NLS_LANG environment variable in one of the 2 ways:
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16big5 or
NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16hkscs

KH

Chinese Data Fields not displaying Chinese Characters

Hi There,
Wonder if someone can help. We are currently running reports in Crystal 8.5 but are in the process of upgrading our business systems to latest version and this includes converting all our Crystal 8.5 reports to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4.
During the process we are experiencing some difficulties in displaying Chinese characters, which have previously worked fine in version 8.5. The system we are running Crystal from has Oracle client 11 installed and the OS system locale is set to Chinese PRC. Our application is displaying Chinese characters properly and if we have any text fields on the report, these are also displaying properly when changing Font to Arial Unicode MS. The only thing that doesn't display properly is the field data which after checking has the correct Chinese data stored in the database. For some reason Crystal 11.5 doesn't seem to be transferring the data correctly which points to some sort of encoding problem.
Is there something I am missing here or is there something else I need to install for this to work?
Any hep would be appreciated.

What is your Oracle database's language set? Is it set to UTF-8 or non UTF-8 (such as American_America.WE8ISO8859P1" )?
There is a similar issue tracked under ID ADAPT00528561 (Crystal cannot display non-UTF-8 Chinese characters from an Oracle database ) and has been fixed and you should set the following registry key to make it effective:
Set the following registry key "UseOSLocaleForConversion" to "Yes" under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Database\Oracle

Chinese Characters not displaying properly

I pasted Chinese text into a Rolling title but not all of the characters display. Some (not many) of them display as an x inside of a square. All I can think is that some of the characters are not being recognized. If it matters, the text is simplified Chinese copied from a website, pasted into Notepad, then copied again and pasted into the title.
Help is greatly appreciated.

John,
I see that now, but the font I selected (simsun) seems to have resolved my issue. I believe it is a bug if I can display the characters correctly on other app, especially Microsoft. On Microsoft apps, I can select many standard fonts and the Chinese Characters display correctly.
Thank you for the link to submit a bug report. When I get time I will submit it, and hopefully they will correct the issue.
God Bless,
Mark

Chinese characters show up as white boxes when doing captions

I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro. I am trying to add Traditional Chinese subtitles to my video. I have imported a .dfxp file and added it to the timeline on V2 above my video track on V1. I have rendered the timeline. I have activated the closed captioning display. When I view the .dfxp file in the Captions Window, I can see the Chinese characters in the text boxes with their associated in and out points on the timeline. THE PROBLEM: IN THE PROGRAM MONITOR WINDOW, THE CHINESE CHARACTERS SHOW UP AS WHITE BOXES INSTEAD OF THE CHINESE CHARACTERS.
I have added all of the available Chinese fonts from Adobe Typekit. I have restarted Premiere to see if adding these fonts did anything to help. It did not. My question: how can I get the Chinese characters to appear instead of the white boxes?
Here's what it looks like:

Thanks for the post -- I'd file a bug report on this.

Newbie: Simplified Chinese characters are displayed as square boxes

Hi,
I am using Windows XP Simplified Chinese Version SP3, Sun JDK5.0 Update 20. I want to run Apache Ofbiz POS; however, the Chinese characters (zh) in PosUiLabels.xml are all displayed as square boxes.
I have tested run Ofbiz in Mac OS X and the Simplified Chinese are displayed normally, and other languages can also be displayed in Windows XP.
What should I do?

When you say "displayed" I assume you mean displayed in some GUI component. In which case you should assign a font to that component which can render those characters properly.

Chinese characters displayed as ##### in Web Intelligence

Hello,
I am using Business Object XI 3.1 and created a Web Intelligence report however it is not able to display the chinese character name for some Taiwan vendors. On my backend BW 7.0, I can see the chinese characters. What could be the cause?
Any help is most appreciated.
Thank you.

that setting has to be done in the registry where the oracle server and oracle client are installed. then restart the BOE servers and try.
you can refer the oracle website (like http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/globalization/nls-lang-099431.html#_Toc110410556) for this setting.

Display problem when reading Traditional Chinese in Crystal Report 2008

Hi All,
I have tried to connect MS SQL 6.5 to build up a report. However, I encounter a problem when read Traditional Chinese. all chinese characters turn into adnormal characters. I wonder it is problem of SQL Server or some setting that I may not know. In addition, I can able to read chinese in the application program , ISQL / Query Analyzer. Please help to give idea and suggestion to fix this. Thanks
SQL Server: MS SQL Server 6.5
Client OS: Window XP ( Traditional Chinese Version)
Server OS: Window NT and Window Server 2000

Hi
If you are using a Chinese language build database, Crystal Reports English build might not display the characters properly as non english databases include one byte characters as ASCII code character and double-byte characters as their own language code character.
Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese (Kanji, Hiranga, and Katakana), Korean and Vietnamese use double-byte characters.
However, a possible workaround to this issue is to verify that the encoding on the database client is configured according to the examples below. Also, you will need to install the language pack in the English environment.
CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES:
Shift-JIS for a Japanese database
Big5 for a Traditional Chinese database
GB2312 for a Simplified Chinese database
iso-2022-kr for a Korean database
Windows 1258 for a Vietnamese database
EXAMPLE SCENARIO:
An Oracle database saves non-English language data such as Japanese.
The Windows operating system is English.
STEP TO CONFIGURE THE CHARACTER CODE IN THE ENVIRONMENT SETTING
(This step is based on the details of the EXAMPLE SCENARIO.)
1. Configure the system environment on the database client side to 'Shift-JIS' as the character code set in the Environment Setting.
This results in the NLS_LANG variable set to Japanese_Japan.JA16SJIS under the registry HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Oracle\Homeo.
STEPS TO INSTALL LANGUAGE PACK IN AN ENGLISH ENVIRONMENT
(These steps are based on the details of the EXAMPLE SCENARIO.)
1. Add languages to the computer system by clicking:
Control Panel > Regional Options > General
2. Select the check box for 'Traditional Chinese', 'Simplified Chinese', 'Japanese', 'Korean' or 'Vietnamese'.
3. Click 'Apply'.
4. When you are prompted, insert the Windows CD-ROM to install the language pack.
5. Restart the computer.
Upon completing these steps, you are able to display the languages characters in the Crystal Reports Designer in a Windows English environment.
==========
NOTE:
If the database table and field names use non-English language characters, Data Explorer in CR will not correctly display these names. However, when you preview the report, the non-English data displays correctly.
==========
Configuring the database client according to the examples and installing the language pack will display the characters successfully. However, there are cases when this workaround does not resolve the issue.
For further information about CR and double-byte languages, refer to knowledge base articles, c2008083 and c2008349.
Hope this helps!!!
Regards
Sourashree
